Game Thread: Illinois vs Missouri

[SuperMetroid]

Just the hottest of garbage.

 

[ChocolateThunder]

Difficult to see a come back with no 3 point shooting from our guards.

 

[Kingsnake22]

Out coached. Period.

 

[alexander58]

Great game plan by Missouri. They haven’t allowed Feliz to operate. Kofi isn’t finishing. It’s the most physical college game I’ve seen. Missouri is taking advantage. Really pushing Illinois around.

 

[Hoppy2105]

Ugh. I hate losing to Mizzou.

 

[KSmooth]

Lmao....we can't shoot, we can't block out, we aren't hustling, we don't move without the ball....they want it more.......

...but it's clearly on the refs and Brad Underwood.

When it happens once or twice it's on the players. When it happens game after game after game it's on the coach.

Our defense is offensive.

 

[skyIdub]

This is 90% effort and 10% performance. Terrible.

 

[ivwilsoniv]

The bottom line is: another year, another absence from the NCAA tourney. With the talent on this team, that’s unacceptable. Maybe I’m being a little premature but this loss and the Miami loss look real bad.

 

[Illiniwek66]

We are getting run out of the gym by a fringe NIT team. This is embarrassing.

At least Miznoz is on the fringe. This team is spending March madness in front of a tv.

 

[Halloweenie]

Underwood has absolutely no answers. They are putting a defensive clinic on.

 

[illini2002]

The refs are not calling fouls... are they SEC refs?

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Ayo should just tell Trent to sit down. If he’s not going to pass to him there, he never will

 

[BMoreIllini]

It's laughable to me when people say a game like this is "squarely" on Underwood, or anyone really. Other than a brief good run by Ayo, the entire team has looked atrocious. No one is boxing out. No one is moving on offense. Good job on MIZNOZ for taking us out of what we do. (I think I just threw up).

 

[dsg]

Underwood should just throw in the towel now and head back home.

 

[Rad]

Ayo creates nothing for others...not even sure he tries to

 

[NotThatPierre]

How many actual shot attempts do we have after timeouts?

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

I think it’s pretty obvious that we have talented players who, for whatever reason, lose focus and passion way too regularly. I’m not a basketball expert, and I don’t know if that’s a coincidence with this group or completely on the staff or both, but it’s INFURIATING to watch.

 

[ChocolateThunder]

Here is an idea, try passing Ayo. Trent open on the wing.

 

[DB11Headband]

Yet another hero ball moment from Ayo that fails miserably

 

[Miles Leonard]

We have 2 baskets in the last 15 minutes.

Every. Friggin. Game. :frustrated: :frustrated:

 

[Oldhickory]

You guys enjoy the rest of the game, I’m going to clean my bathroom instead, that’ll be more fun than watching this

 

[foby]

I like the new "whole arm is part of the ball" rule

 

[skyIdub]

When it happens once or twice it's on the players. When it happens game after game after game it's on the coach.

Right, just like the "refs are terrible" even though we were in the bonus with 14 minutes left in the second half.

 

[TCTORNADO]

Frazier barking at Ayo is just not a good sign
